It builds to a certain high pressure beforethe motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from pressure higherthan its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called "cut-outpressure."To Lock Out Power: Place a lock on the line power switch so no one else can turnon the power.

GLOSSARY

DUTY CYCLEPorter-Cable air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50% dutycycle. This means an air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour isconsidered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required airdemand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes.

ON/AUTO-OFF Switch (A) Fig. 1: Turnthis switch ON to provide automaticpower to the pressure switch and OFF toremove power.Pressure Switch (B) Fig. 1: Thepressure switch automatically starts themotor when the air tank pressure dropsbelow the factory set "cut-in" pressure.It stops the motor when the air tankpressure reaches the factory set "cut-out" pressure.Air Tank Safety Valve (C) Fig. 1: If thepressure switch does not shut off the aircompressor at its cut-out pressuresetting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure by "popping off" at itsfactory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch cut-out setting).Air Tank Pressure Gauge (D) Fig. 1: The air tank pressure gauge indicates thereserve air pressure in the air tank. On units with no pressure regulator, this is alsothe pressure available at the air outlet.Air Intake Filter (not shown): This filter is designed to clean air coming into thepump. This filter must always be clean and ventilation openings free fromobstructions. See "Maintenance".Air Compressor Pump (not shown): To compress air, the pistons moves up anddown in the cylinder. On the downstroke, air is drawn in through the air intakevalves. The exhaust valve remains closed. On the upstroke of the piston, air iscompressed. The intake valves close and compressed air is forced out through theexhaust valve, through the outlet tube, through the check valve and into the airtank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tankpressure above that required at the air outlet.Drain Valve (not shown): Located at the base of the air tank to draincondensation.Check Valve (not shown): When the air compressor is operating, the check valveis "open", allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressorreaches "cut-out" pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air pressure toremain inside the air tank.Pressure Release Valve (not shown): The pressure release valve, located on theside of the pressure switch, is designed to automatically release compressed airfrom the compressor head and the outlet tube when the air compressor reaches"cut-out" pressure or is shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor torestart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be heard escaping from thevalve for a few seconds. No air should be heard leaking when the motor is running.Shut-off Valve (sold separately): Closes the air outlet (E, Fig. 1) allowing the tankto fill with air.Regulator (sold separately): An air pressure regulator or a separate airtransformer which combines the functions of air regulation and/or moisture and dirtremoval is recommended for most applications.

Location of the Air Compressor The manifold assembly does not provide adequate

stability or support for lifting the unit. If the unit must be moved, usethe air tank for lifting.

Operate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area. The air intakefilter must be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air delivery of the aircompressor. The air compressor should be located at least 12" away from walls orother obstructions that could interfere with the flow of air. The air compressorcrankcase and head are designed with fins to provide proper cooling.The flywheel side of the unit should be placed toward the wall and protected with atotally enclosed belt guard. The area should allow space on all sides for aircirculation and for ease of normal maintenance. Keep the unit away from areaswhich have dirt, vapor, and combustible fumes in the atmosphere which may clogand gum the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient operation.If humidity is high, an air filter can be installed in line to remove excessive moisture.Closely follow instructions packaged with the filter for proper installation. It must beinstalled as close as possible to the accessory.The air compressor should be as near to air outlets as possible in order to avoidlong pipe lines. Do not place the air compressor where heat is excessive.Do not use an extension cord. To avoid voltage drop and power loss to the motor,use extra air hose instead of an extension cord.

Wiring Instructions (Fig. 3)Perform electrical wiring according to the following instructions:

Improper electrical grounding can result in a risk ofelectrical shock. Wiring for the pressure switch AND electrical motorshould be done by a licensed electrician in accordance with nationaland local codes and ordinances.

Install the air compressor unit as close to the main power supply as possible. Thispractice will avoid using long lengths of electrical wiring for the power supply whichcan cause power loss to the motor. When connecting wires make sure that:1. The amperage rating of the electrical box is adequate.2. The supply line has the same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycle, and

phase) as motor.Refer to the Specification Chart or your air compressor unit.

NOTE: THESE UNITS DO NOT INCLUDE ANY WIRING BECAUSE OFVARIOUS INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS.

Wiring must be such that full motor nameplate voltage plus or minus 10% isavailable at the motor terminals during starting. Refer to local codes forrecommended wire sizes for correct wire size and maximum wire run; undersizewire causes high amp draw andoverheating to the motor.

Electrical wiringmust be located away fromhot surfaces such as the aircompressor head, compressorcylinder, or compressor outlettube.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS RISK OF ELECTRICAL

SHOCK! In the event of a short circuit,grounding reduces the risk of shock byproviding an escape wire for the electriccurrent. This air compressor must be properly grounded.

Improper grounding can result in electrical shock! Allgrounding should be performed by a licensed electrician inaccordance with national and local electrical codes!

Make certain that the electrical circuit to which the air compressor is connectedprovides proper electrical grounding, correct voltage and adequate fuse protection.The air compressor can be grounded by the following method:When hard wiring an air compressor, use wiring that contains a bare coppergrounding wire. This wire must be connected to the pressure switch at thegrounding location provided. This is located inside the pressure switch. The otherend of the wire must be connected to a ground at the fuse/circuit breaker box inaccordance with national and local electrical codes.If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are indoubt as to whether the air compressor is properly grounded, have the installationchecked by an Authorized Warranty Service Center or a licensed electrician.

Lubrication and Oil

Air compressors are shipped without oil. A smallamount of oil may be present in the pump upon receipt of the aircompressor. This is due to plant testing and does not mean that thepump contains the correct amount of oil. Do not attempt to operate inorder to check wiring or for any reason without first adding oil to thecrankcase. Serious damage to the pump can result from even verylimited use without oil. Fill crankcase with recommended oil beforeoperating.

Multi-viscosity motor oils like 10W30, should not beused in an air compressor. They leave carbon deposits on criticalcomponents, thus reducing performance and air compressor life. Useair compressor oil only.

Voltage and Circuit ProtectionRefer to the Specifications for the voltage andcircuit protection requirements of your aircompressor. Use only a fuse or circuit breakerthat is the same rating as the branch circuit onwhich the air compressor is operated. If the aircompressor is connected to a circuit protectedby fuses, use only dual element time delay fuses,as noted in the Specifications.

This product should beconnected to a grounded, metallic,permanent wiring system, or anequipment-grounding terminal or lead onthe product.

Typical schematic subjectto all changes as dictatedby local electrical codesand authorities.

1. Refer to the Service Instructions in this manual for the specific oil recommendedfor use in your air compressor unit.

2. Remove the oil fill plug.3. Fill the crankcase. The oil level should be even with the top of the fill hole and

must not be allowed to be lower than 3/8" from the top (6 threads) at any time.4. Replace the oil fill plug and tighten securely.

Additional Regulators and ControlsSince the air tank pressure is usually greater than that which is needed, a separateregulator is usually employed to control the air pressure ahead of any individual airdriven device.Separate air transformers that combine the functions of air regulation and moistureand dirt removal should be used where applicable.

Piping

Plastic or PVC pipe is not designed for use withcompressed air. Regardless of its indicated pressure rating, plasticpipe can burst from air pressure. Use only metal pipe for airdistribution lines.

Note

The shut-off valve is not supplied with this unit. You must purchasethe shut-off valve separately.

Note

Where a remote air intake is used, enlarge the size of the air intakepiping by one pipe size for each 10 feet of length.

A typical compressed air distribution system as shown in fig. 5 should be ofsufficient pipe size to keep the pressure drop between the supply and point of useto a minimum. All pipes and fittings used must be certified safe for the pressuresinvolved. Pipe thread lubricant must be used on all male pipe threads, and all jointsare to be made up tight, since small leaks in the piping system are the largestsingle cause of high operating costs.All piping should be sloped to an accessible drain point and all outlets should betaken from the top of the main distribution air line so that moisture cannot enter theoutlet.The main distribution air line should not be smaller than the air compressordischarge valve outlet. A smaller line will restrict the flow of air. If piping is over 100feet long, or if required air flow will exceed 15 SCFM, use 3/4" scheduled 40 piping.

Note

For underground installation, bury air lines below the frost line andavoid pockets where condensation can gather and freeze. Applypressure before underground lines are covered to make sure all pipejoints are free from leaks.

A flexible coupling needs to be installed between the shut-off valve (soldseparately) and the main air distribution line to allow for vibration.To remove dirt, oil, and water, install a separator in the main distribution line. Installseparator 5 to 6 feet from air compressor to allow the air to cool to roomtemperature before passing through the separator. Additional separators or filtersmay be used depending on the application.Water occurs naturally in air lines as a result of compression.Moisture vapor in ambient air is concentrated when pressurized and condenseswhen cooled in downstream air piping.


12-ENG

Typical Compressed Air Distribution System

Compressed air dryers reduce the water vapor concentration and prevent waterformation in compressed air lines. Dryers are a necessary companion to filters,aftercoolers, and automatic drains for improving the productivity of compressed airsystems.Water and water vapor removal increases the efficiency of air operated equipment,reduces contamination and rusting, increases the service life of pneumaticequipment and tools, prevents air line freeze-ups, and reduces product rejects. Theuse of dryers, aftercoolers, and filters is recommended when these moisture relatedproblems are reported to our factory or distributor service department.

Unit cycles automatically when power is on. Duringmaintenance, you could be exposed to voltage sources, compressedair, moving parts, or hot surfaces. Personal injuries can occur. Unplugthe unit and bleed off all air tank pressure and allow unit to coolbefore doing any maintenance or repair. Never operate the unit withthe belt guard removed.

To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor unit, a routinemaintenance schedule should be prepared and followed. The following routinemaintenance schedule is geared to a unit in a normal working environmentoperating on a daily basis. If necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit theconditions under which your air compressor is used. The modifications will dependupon the hours of operation and the working environment. Air compressor units inan extremely dirty and/or hostile environment will require a greater frequency of allmaintenance checks.

Routine Maintenance ScheduleDaily:1. Check oil level. Add if necessary.

Overfilling with oil will cause premature air compressorpump failure. Do not overfill.

2. Open the shut-off valve.3. Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly bleed from the air tank. Close the

regulator when air tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.4. Drain water from the air tank, any moisture separators, or transformers.5. Check for any unusual noise and/or vibration.6. Manually check all safety valves to make sure they are operating properly.7. Inspect for oil leaks. Take unit to an Authorized Service Center for repair.8. Inspect air filter and replace if necessary.Every 40 Hours of Operation:1. Inspect condition of drive belt; replace if necessary.

Every 100 Hours of Operation:1. Drain and refill compressor crankcase with 16 fluid ounces (473.2 ml) of clean

compressor oil.2. Increase frequency of oil changes if humidity or operating conditions are

extreme.

MAINTENANCE

10.Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly bleed from the air tank. Close theregulator when air tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.

11.Open the drain valve underneath the air tank and drain water from air tank.

DRAIN AIR TANK DAILY. Water will condense in the airtank. If not drained, the water will corrode and weaken the air tank,causing a risk of air tank rupture. The air tank must be drainedproperly.

12.After the water has been drained, close the drain valve.- if the air compressor is under continuous use, drain at least once each day.- if the air compressor is only used occasionally, drain after each use.

NoteIf drain cock valve is clogged, release air pressure in air tank. The draincock valve can then be removed, cleaned and reinstalled.


15-ENG

Every 160 Hours of Operation:1. Check drive belt tension; adjust if necessary.2. Inspect air lines and fittings for leaks; correct as necessary.3. Check the alignment of the motor pulley to the flywheel. If necessary, align to

within 1/32 inch on center line.

Each Year of Operation or if a Problem is Suspected:Check condition of air compressor pump intake and exhaust valves. Replace ifdamaged or worn out.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONSAir Filter - Inspection and Replacement

NOTEKeep the air filter clean at all times. Do not operate the air compressorwith the air filter removed.

A dirty air filter will not allow the air compressor to operate at full capacity. Beforeyou use the air compressor, check the air filter to be sure it is clean. If it is dirty,replace it with a new filter.

Oil - Checking and Changing

Overfilling with oil will cause premature air compressorpump failure. Do not overfill.

1. Check oil level in air compressor crankcase before each use. The oil levelshould be even with the top of the fill hole and must not be allowed to be lowerthan 3/8" from the top (6 threads) at any time.

2. See Routine Maintenance Schedule for oil change scheduling.3. Remove the oil fill and drain plugs. Collect the oil in a suitable container.4. Replace the oil drain plug and refill the crankcase with recommended oil.

NoteIt is important to maintain the proper oil level. A low oil level reducesproper cylinder wall lubrication and increases ring wear.

5. Replace the oil fill plug.6. Start the air compressor unit and run for several minutes. Shut the air

compressor down and check the oil level. If necessary, add more oil.

scheduled maintenance as necessary.2. Turn the air compressor unit off.3. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero.4. Remove the air tool or accessory.5. Open the regulator or and allow the air to slowly bleed from the air tank. Close

the regulator when air tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.6. Open the drain valve underneath the air tank and drain water from air tank.

DRAIN AIR TANK DAILY. Water will condense in the airtank. If not drained, the water will corrode and weaken the air tank,causing a risk of air tank rupture. The Air tank must be drainedproperly.

7. After the water has been drained, close the drain valve.Note

If drain cock valve is clogged, release air pressure in air tank. The draincock valve can then be removed, cleaned and reinstalled.

8. Protect the electrical cord and/or air hose from damage (such as being steppedon or run over).

9. Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
